Based in Altdorf, Jan Henrik captures authentic, unposed family moments on location. Relaxed sessions for parents, children and newborns with a documentary feel.
Photos like you: real, beautiful & full of life — that's my approach as a family photographer based in Altdorf near Nuremberg. I'm Jan Henrik and I aim to create family images that feel natural rather than staged, showing relationships, small gestures and genuine smiles. "Family is the greatest happiness" is more than a line for me; it guides how I plan and shoot each session. My style is calm, unobtrusive and documentary: together we pick a location that matters to you — your garden, a favorite spot in the woods or the local playground — and I photograph your family in real moments. Of course we capture classic family portraits for the wall or album, but the focus is on authentic, unposed images that tell a story. I bring experience and empathy to every shoot: I started photographing in 2003 and have been working as a self-employed photographer since 2018. That blend of experience and personal attention helps me keep sessions relaxed, even with energetic children or newborns. For babies and newborns I work gently and flexibly, prioritizing their comfort so the results feel tender and natural. How I work: first we talk about your ideas and favorite places. During the session I create a relaxed atmosphere, offer small prompts, and concentrate on capturing spontaneous moments. Post‑processing is done carefully to ensure a timeless look your family will cherish. Based in Altdorf near Nuremberg, I photograph families across Nürnberg, Fürth, Erlangen and the surrounding region. If you want natural family photos that tell your story honestly, get in touch — I look forward to meeting you and capturing your moments.
